Hello everyone. I figured I would put my project out there. I am very new to the designing world and have had to put it on hold to do other work, but I do have a project that I've been working on. Something I have always wanted more of in Zoo Tycoon 2 was more horses and I missed out on a lot of downloads because I came to the game late. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and have been designing a Gypsy Vanner horse. My main skill is skinning but I can do basic coding and am still learning to make further changes. My weakest point is meshing and I hope to learn more about it so for now I can only edit existing models. It will be some time yet before I can continue work, but here is a preview of the main variant.

Update 9/1/15: Okay...so I have attempted to make alpha channels and the results have been rather a disaster. However, I will keep playing around with it to see if I can end up managing it but I promise nothing. There is the chance I might just leave it as is because it might be beyond my skill. On the bright side, I do have an in-game screenshot to show of the main skin. Scroll down to the bottom of the post to see it.

great skin! I love it! you should make the alpha channels look better though, by creating hair things there must be a tutorial for that somewhere around also, maybe put a bit more texture on the hoofs can't wait for more!

Thank you. I will see what I can do but I was pretty proud of the results considering it was mostly a matter of trial and error. Soon I'll take an in-game screenshot and post it because it does look a bit different when actually in use. Mainly the mane is a bit darker though I can't figure out how to fix that.
